What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building data engineering and analytics solutions, applying statistical modelling and machine learning to large-scale datasets while growing through collaborative, technically challenging work.

I'm currently working with the Central Statistics Office Data Engineering team, improving large-scale data linkage workflows through dataset cleaning, joining, validation, and ETL pipeline development.

I've helped migrate R-based workflows to Apache Spark for distributed processing on Hadoop, and previously worked with Eli Lilly's statistical team on manufacturing-process reports, product limits, process capability metrics, peer reviews, and presentations for non-technical stakeholders.

My first-class honours degree in Data Science and Analytics is grounded in statistical modelling, machine learning, and data analysis. My final-year project compared clustering algorithms with a focus on spectral clustering, while my Eli Lilly project evaluated statistical approximations for real-time process monitoring.
